Nigeria: Igbo Leaders Pledge Loyalty to Buhari

Nigeria - Notable Igbo leaders, including retired army generals, led by the former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr Dozie Ikedife, in a private visit have appealed to president elect Muhammadu Buhari not to ignore Igbos in his incoming administration.

They urged Buhari to give Ndigbo their pride of place in his in-comingadministration, not minding that Ndigbo did not give him massive vote during the just concluded presidential election.

“Our private visit to the president-elect was to let him know that he is the president for all and that he has to accommodate people from the South-East in his administration, whether they voted for him or not, afterall, Ndigbo are not saying that he did not win the election” Ikedife said.


He noted that while it was a known fact that the National Executive Council, NEC, of the APC had done its zoning as to who got what, the Igbo should be well accommodated and not to be left to pick the crumbs.


“We have people who are capable, qualified, hardworking and technocrats who can work with him in Igbo land. We have people like the former Governor of Abia State, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, very brilliant and very respectful. We have Oscar Udoji and other people of high integrity and dedicated politicians like Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige. And
there are people who worked tirelessly for the APC to win in the South East, people who did not vie for any elective position, no matter the low number of votes they attracted because of the overwhelming South East support for the
PDP. It is important that these people should be accommodated”, the Igbo leader said.

MEN LATEST ATTIRES

When it comes to winning the style game, measuring up to more than mediocre requires some extra steps. But don’t confuse making an effort with trying too hard.
A dapper gentleman knows the secret to mastering the balance lies in his aptitude for accessorizing.

The key is not to overdo it.If you haven’t tried accessorizing your suit, shirt, and bolt tie with a pocket square, these posts are what you need. As a
general rule, stick to two accessories—like a bolt tie or a pocket square with a bolt tie—to add some understated elegance to your look. Selecting a solid
square that picks up a colour in your tie is an easy way to add polish for the more conservative, style-conscious dude.

It is not always compulsory that your tie must match the pocket square.
Instead, opt for a color or pattern that complements the other without being matchy-matchy. Or, a crispy white pocket square is always a safe bet, too, for keeping things simple and sophisticated.

CHIC MONOCHROME OUTFIT

Black and white is a key fashion trend. It is safe to say the classic colour combination looks good on most women, irrespective of their skin tone, body structure or age. A sophisticated trend, pulling off the look may not be as easy as it seems. To stand out in a monochrome ensemble, you need to know these tips by heart.

Monochrome 101:
Introducing another colour into a monochrome ensemble would lessen the impact. So if your neckline begs for ornamentation, choose a statement piece in black or white. Shoes can be black, white, or a mix of the two, and make-up should do nothing more than highlight your brows and bone structure. Go for well-made
pieces in fabrics that will not wear out over time.

Add a pop of colour:
As subtle as monochrome might seem, it is an attention- grabbing fashion theme. Given that black and white are neutral colours, it is easy to fit in a bright colour. This makes your outfit fun and exciting. Limit it to one colour, though. Make it as loud and bold or as subtle and soft as you like. It all depends on your personal style.

Pair with prints and patterns:
Another way to style a black and white outfit is to wear the colours in patterns or prints. This is perfect if you do not like wearing too many plain solid pieces in one look or if you simply want more interesting details in your outfit. Popular choices include, polka dots, zebra prints and checkered patterns. Prints make the monochrome look a little softer. Wearing dots and stripes in the same look might seem impossible to pull off but you can absolutely combine monochrome patterns in a singular look.

Make-up:
When rocking the monochrome trend, your make-up should not be loud if you want to achieve a subtle look. If you want to go sassy, then red is a good choice. Bright yellow accessories can be fashionable, but bright yellow accessories with matching eyeshadow, crosses the border. For make-up; you can wear eyeshadow in any metallic colour you choose.

Accessories:
To brighten up a monochrome look, simply add a pair of brightly- coloured heels and chunky accessories. Add a splash of colour in the form of a single accessory such as a scarf, necklace, or pair of shoes. It is a sure-fire way of getting attention.
Pair a black jacket with a black top and white skirt or with a white top and some sleek black pants. Shoes, jewellery, scarves can all be tied into the monochrome theme or used to add a touch of colour. Bright red heels make a statement when paired with uncomplicated black and white.

Man loses wife, three children, two others to fire

Six people died when a storey building in which they were living caught fire in
Jos, Plateau State in the early hours of Saturday. The fire was said to have started
around 2am immediately after electricity was restored from the public electric supply.

The victims are: 26-year old Habiba Ahmed, her three children, Dalhatu, aged 6, Maryam 4 and one-year-old Fawaz. Others are Habiba’s sister, Rukayat 12 and maid, named Maryam aged 13. There was suspicion that the victims died of suffocation as they could not escape from the raging inferno.

However he was recalled by his landlord, Umar Dauda, immediately the incident occurred. A distraught Ahmed rushed back to Jos oblivious of the fate that had befallen his family. One of the witnesses, Yusuf, who shared a flat near that of the deceased, said that he was alerted by the loud explosion of the gas cylinder. He said immediately the explosion occurred the electricity in his own apartment went off.

Yusuf said that the prompt intervention of men of the Plateau State fire service prevented the fire from spreading to other buildings. He added, “I was told that the victims shouted for help, but nobody came to alert us until the sound of the
explosion.” Sobbing Ahmed who spoke at the burial site at the Zaria Road cemetery said, “I was playing with them till 4 am yesterday (Friday) before I left for Lafia. Now I have lost everything.”
